EPTNow people are just gonna whine on forums after every single loss because it's so much easier than finding a solution. And they even get rewarded for doing so after only a few weeks...
Patch 1.4 PTR Notes (updated 9/8) - Page 114
| Forum Index > Closed |
Since this whole topic degenerated into the usual balance flamefest where every topic ends up if unmoderated it's time for it to clean up. Locking this down for a while. Any posts made after my post [page 233] not addressing the changes in this patch directly and containting flames or general balance whine will get banned for at least a week. ~Nyovne There is way too much flaming in this thread right now. Calm down before you post! (Page 271) ~iamke55 | ||

It's annoying but how else to give 11/11 (widely considered too strong in Korea) a little nerf? | ||

With immortals having improved range they'll put their sick DPS to use. I'm still not convinced, but we'll see - on maps where it's not really safe to FFE, I've always been of the opinion that only the metagame (4 gate, blink all-in) makes it balanced. 4 gate got nerfed, blink got nerfed. Zerg still has the very real threat of overrunning you with ling/roach, while on the other hand toss can't really threaten a droning zerg. But maybe I'm wrong and going 3 gate exp robo with constant immortal production (all chrono on robo) will work out. | ||

Sure, it's noticeable but it won't break anything other than possibly a 2rax. Still the fact that it works in both close and far spawns kinda nullifies that argument. It's just a slightly general nerf to terran early game, which may or may not be needed. | ||

Edit: I say the rax change is useless because, except for 11/11 rax which it won't affect too much, irc there was a pause between the 15th scv and when the rax finishes so you can build an oc? I expect it to be about 5 seconds so it times up perfectly now in order to not change other build by terran. | ||

I do like how they've now made it the fastest Tier 3 unit to train, did feel that whenever I went Ultras in any match-up it took way too long. I dunno though, I still feel that the ultra needs a bit more love. Can't go too far or else it would get super imbalanced, but maybe like +1 base armour? | ||

As a non-cheeser that's always my stock fix for everything. Make spines available without a pool? | ||

Who's right now, bitch? Now we just need to lower the health of marines starting health and/or marauders health/damage. BFH have been used months before the MLG in the GSL and were really popular in the ladder even before that. It's only that the foreigner kids are oblivious to these shifts and that's why no foreigner Terran can compete. | ||

I'm just going to try all sorts of crazy drops win or lose due to survivability of WP which was basically an auto loss before. Can't you only put 2 immortals in a warp prism? Or are you gonna send 2, in which case you crazy I love it though, maybe people will start using the warp prism as an updated shuttle | ||
